Oh Crap!
My ice-cream machine, it is broken. Specifically, the paddle
is broken. Snapped right off. I was making some low-cal vanilla
icecream, and I didn't hear the engine labouring, and it just must have
kept going until the paddle snapped(*).
Let's just say that if those few minutes after my discovery of this were
a movie, it would be rated M for language.
On the bright side, instead of breaking down in despair (do you
know how much that ice-cream machine cost?) I tracked down the
business that I originally purchased it from, and yes, they were still in
business. So I found their contact number, explained my problem, and he
said I should email them with a photograph of the paddle in question.
So I used my scanner to take a "photograph", and emailed them.
It's now after hours, so the earliest I could hear from them would be
tomorrow. But the man on the phone didn't say "no" immediately, so I
think there's hope. Which is just as well. A replacement paddle has
got to be much cheaper than a replacement machine.
And summer is just around the corner. Ice-cream will be needed.
(*) Note to self: not enough Xylitol?

I'm not sure I'd lay big bucks on that, but here's hoping it proves to be so.

after all, ice cream is one of the food groups
In my case, a non-food group; I specialize in low-calorie ice cream and gelato. My diet allows me to have low-cal jelly, but if I turn the jelly into gelato, that is much more yummy.
